I've >certainly never seen an error message like that within FreeBSD itself. However, I've been wondering if the messages are from the processor on my ethernet board. How would I go about tracking down the source of the message? Telling me to go read a particular book or article is a good answer as far as I'm concerned (or looking at source code). Thanks for the help.
